- 12:55, 18 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+6) . . m 2334: Slide Trombone (→Explanation: wikilink Constant Pressure System. Arguably the patent should go, a wikipedia link is a lot more accessible.)
- 21:22, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+306) . . User talk:Kynde (→Edit summaries: new section)
- 21:18, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (0) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: black -> Black, when speaking of people, consistent with the prevalent style trend in English today.)
- 21:18, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+3) . . m Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: punctuation)
- 21:13, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-31) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: Simplify hierarchy, wordsmithing on the cartoon description. Don't use Cueball's left, which is our right.)
- 21:07, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-84) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: Remove claim about "Randall decided to take a stand." Randall speaks for himself, we're not in his head, and the existing bullet points are sufficient.)
- 21:06, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+9) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: Comment out confusing unfilled-in claim about "It was last up".)
- 21:05, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-2) . . m Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: George -> Floyd. spelling.)
- 21:05, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+9) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: We don't KNOW the reason Randall does this. Rewrite based on encyclopedic facts, not some omniscient style.)
- 21:01, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+143) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: Rewrite BLM definition. It is not possible to "found" a dcentralized movement. Wordsmith and wikilink. This is very sensitive stuff, take care with it.)
- 20:56, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-69) . . Header text (→2020-06-03 - Black Lives Matter: Remove claim about Randall knows and does not know, re image links / image maps. We are not inside his head, we cannot know that. Also, it was ungrammatical.)
- 20:55, 16 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+237) . . Header text (→2020-06-17 - Black Lives Matter: changed from joincampaignzero.org to blacklivesmatter.com)
- 14:59, 4 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+9) . . 1820: Security Advice (→Change your maiden name regularly: A common security question is "your mother's maiden name," not your own maiden name, which would exclude most males and be an ineffective security question for at least half the population.)
- 14:52, 4 July 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+711) . . 1820: Security Advice (→Use a 2-factor smoke detector: Relegate to a comment debunked claim that dual function smoke detectors lessen safety, and explain why (complex threshold interactions).)
- 18:55, 25 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-14) . . 2324: Old Days 2 (→Explanation: floppy disks: "magnetic storage" sted "magnetic-based storage." Drop "early" because floppies were far later than, e.g., magtapes, which date from the 1920s (1950s for computer data))
- 18:50, 25 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-9) . . 2324: Old Days 2 (→Explanation: Magtapes were not primarily cartridge-based, although some were. Also, specify that as bulk data, as there was in-core and even hard drive storage avalailable, depending on system and era. Perhaps it wants "among other places"?)
- 18:29, 25 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-18) . . 2324: Old Days 2 (→Explanation: Drop "from the Internet" re modem connections. Modem connections need not be to the Internet, and historically most were not, esp. in a mainframe context.)
- 18:28, 25 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-11) . . 2324: Old Days 2 (→Explanation: Not only early dialup-modems, but all dial-up modems, by definition, use landlines. (Arguably all modems, but also arguably not.) "do" sted "did," there's no need for the past tense here, nor for emphasis on it.)
- 18:25, 25 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-1) . . m 2324: Old Days 2 (→Explanation: mainframes not ''necessarily'' near Sacramento rather than "specifically" which is confusing.)
- 12:03, 13 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+747) . . Talk:2319: Large Number Formats (→"Engineering" notation omitted?: r)

- 06:28, 11 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+765) . . explain xkcd:Community portal/Miscellaneous (→Should we* reference xkcd.com "black lives matter" banner: "We already do," sorta.)

- 09:34, 8 June 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+6) . . m 2055: Bluetooth (→Trivia: Partial revert of PotatoGod's 192993. There's no obvious reason to put present this irrelevant parenthesis on specification date to the reader, and no reason for doing so was given in the es. It's in a comment to stop people from adding it.)
- 00:13, 25 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+449) . . Talk:1522: Astronomy (What if they're just white paint on the ceiling?) (current)
- 00:04, 25 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (0) . . m 1522: Astronomy (→Explanation: consistent spelling: centimeter over centimetre. The former is the US usage anyhow and this xkcd is a US comic.)
- 00:03, 25 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-38) . . 1522: Astronomy (→Explanation: Remove {{Citation needed}}. None is necessary for the fact that stars are not 2 meters away, nor that microscopes are expensive. The former is axiomatic from the definition, the latter is simply well-accepted.)
- 00:02, 25 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-6) . . m 1522: Astronomy (→Explanation: Grammar. "takes approach by" and "attempts approach it" are improper. Go with "is using" and "attempts to view them")
- 12:08, 23 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-4) . . m 2310: Great Attractor (→Explanation: consistent casing throughout: lowercase 'the' but titlecase 'Great Attractor'; also, no 'the The'; also also 'wall' stead 'Wall' (once))
- 11:57, 23 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+42) . . m 2310: Great Attractor (→Explanation: wikilink strange powers of beret guy)

- 00:13, 14 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-1) . . 2306: Common Cold (→Explanation: elimination of common cold at the same time as covid19 is more "colaterally" than "incidently." Probably a more accessible word is appropriate, though.)
- 00:54, 9 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+146) . . m 2304: Preprint (→Explanation: ref to Adobe trademark guidelines; break graf; fix typo)
- 00:46, 9 May 2020 (diff | hist) . . (+287) . . 2304: Preprint (→Explanation: PDF is actually an open format and not even Adobe uses an ® about it.)
- 14:14, 5 April 2020 (diff | hist) . . (-1) . . 824: Guest Week: Bill Amend (FoxTrot) (→Explanation: sudo isn't POSIX-compliant (wow, 82660 from Jan. 2015!) so don't say POSIX, nor is it Linux-specific. It's a common addition to Unix systems that's included by default in many. Say Unix!)
